How It Works

Curious how online learning works?

With online learning, your child can learn at home, or wherever there's an internet connection, while enjoying the benefits and support of a school program. They'll complete a mix of online lessons and offline activities using K12-provided books and materials.* State-licensed teachers provide instruction in virtual sessions called "Class Connects."

What's my role as a parent?

You'll play an active and important role as your child's Learning Coach. Plan to:

  • Provide academic support, motivation, and guidance throughout the school year
  • Ensure your child is on track with assignments and coursework
  • Communicate with teachers
  • Report daily attendance

If a child's legal guardian is unable to fill this role, a family member, friend, or another trusted adult can serve as the Learning Coach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to attend Tennessee Virtual Academy (TNVA)?

Any student in grades K–8 who resides in Tennessee is eligible to attend. Qualified 9th graders who were successful with TNVA in 8th grade may also attend.

How many of my children can I enroll in TNVA?

Because TNVA provides the lesson plans and materials needed for grades K–9, many parents find it easy to enroll multiple children in the program.

What does it cost to attend TNVA?

As a public school, TNVA is tuition-free. We provide Tennessee-licensed teachers and instructional materials. Families are responsible for providing access to a computer and the internet and some common household materials (such as printer ink and paper). Our enrollment consultants can help address your technological and computer questions and needs.

What is the attendance policy?

As a Tennessee public school program, all TNVA students must comply with the state-required minimum number of 180 instructional days.

Can our family take a vacation during the school year?

The school calendar includes school holidays or vacation time. Whenever possible, family vacations should align with school vacation days. Parents are encouraged to contact their student's teacher if they plan a vacation that does not coordinate with the school calendar.

How much time will my child spend online?

In the younger grades, many of the online lessons include offline work. Students in grades K–2 spend about 30–40 percent of their time on the computer, while students in grades 3–6 spend about 50–60 percent of their time online. Screen time increases in junior high school.

How do students interact socially?

Students spend time with classmates online and through school outings, field trips, and other activities. In addition to school-based clubs, K12 online national clubs help connect students with like interests and passions.
